Nothing is more exciting than a game winning play by the Baltimore Ravens. Here are the top five times this has happened:

5. Justin Tucker hits a 61 yard field goal against the Detroit Lions

The Baltimore Ravens have the best kicker in the NFL, maybe even in NFL history. This list could have included a handful of kicks by Tucker. I could have put in the kick he had against the Denver Broncos which sealed a double overtime playoff victory. I could have put the kick he had in the rain this year against the San Francisco 49ers. The point is that Tucker is almost automatic and is very trusted in the clutch moments of a game. To make sure everybody gets their due I have Tucker’s career long as the one field goal that makes the list. There were 11 game winning field goals to choose from. A top 10 Justin Tucker game winning kicks post is a good idea, but that will have to be done on a different day. We have a lot of cool moments to touch on.

Tucker has plenty of leg and the Ravens are always willing to test just how much he has. Tucker lined up to kick the game winner against the Lions with 43 seconds left in the game. The 2013 Ravens were still in the hunt for the playoffs and they needed this game. On this kick Tucker got just enough on it and he was able to sneak the ball just inside the upright.

It was a dramatic kick but it was also Tucker’s sixth field goal of the game. The Ravens didn’t even get one touchdown in the game and they still won. They put Tucker to work, which is another good reason for this to be the one game winning kick on this list. He scored 18 points in a game. At least in the regular season there isn’t a more amazing field goal in Ravens history. It shows you how good this list is that this is just number five.
